Stephen Merchant’s The Outlaws season 3 won’t happen unless BBC cough up

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephen Merchant has warned that a third series of ‘The Outlaws’ won’t happen unless bosses pay up.
The crime thriller comedy TV series about a group of seven misfits doing community service in Bristol is set to launch its second series on BBC One in June but co-creator Stephen has warned that further episodes are unlikely unless the right funding is secured.
He told National Public Radio: “It’s all dependent on people higher up with money deciding if we can do it.
“There definitely feels like there’s more mileage in the characters, which is exciting. Getting the cast together again is going to be pricey!”
However, the former ‘Office’ star reassured fans that the new series of ‘The Outlaws’ – in which he stars as an unsuccessful lawyer alongside Christopher Walken – will be “a lot of fun” as he has been “turning up the heat” throughout the writing process.
He added: “Someone had told me early on in my writing career that with a comedy or with a drama, you take your characters and you chase them up a tree and then you throw rocks at them. And so series one was chasing them up the tree, series two is really throwing the rocks at them. Turning up the heat under them and it’s been very enjoyable because you’ve established a world, you can have a lot of fun with the characters and see the consequences of their actions and I’m very pleased with it.
Stephen previously revealed the stressful struggles of filming during lockdown and being left with PTSD after fearing Christopher would contract COVID.
He said: “It turns out shooting under a pandemic is a f****** nightmare and I’d suggest no one does it. Every day you’re on a knife edge hoping [Christopher] doesn’t get COVID. If anyone even looks like they’re going to sneeze near him you try and jump in front of him like you’re taking a bullet for the president. There’s a slight feeling of PTSD having been through it.”
